rustdoc: allow resizing the sidebar / hiding the top bar Fixes #97306 Preview: http://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-4/sidebar-resize/std/index.html  ## Summary This feature adds: 1. A checkbox to the Settings popover to hide the persistent navigation bar (the sidebar on large viewports and the top bar on small ones). 2. On large viewports, it adds a resize handle to the persistent sidebar. Resizing it into nothing is equivalent to turning off the persistent navigation bar checkbox in Settings. 3. If the navigation bar is hidden, a toolbar button to the left of the search appears. Clicking it brings the navigation bar back. ## Motivation While "mobile mode" is definitely a good default, it's not the only reason people have wanted to hide the sidebar: * Some people use tiling window managers, and don't like rustdoc's current breakpoints. Changing the breakpoints might help with that, but there's no perfect solution, because there's a gap between "huge screen" and "smartphone" where reasonable people can disagree about whether it makes sense for the sidebar to be on-screen. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97306 * Some people ask for ways to reduce on-screen clutter because it makes it easier to focus. There's not a media query for that (and if there was, privacy-conscious users would turn it off). https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59829 This feature is designed to avoid these problems. Resizing the sidebar especially helps, because it provides a way to hide the sidebar without adding a new top-level button (which would add clutter), and it provides a way to make rustdoc play nicer in complex, custom screen layouts. ## Guide and Reference-level explanation On a desktop or laptop with a mouse, resize the sidebar by dragging its right edge. On any browser, including mobile phones, the sticky top bar or side bar can be hidden from the Settings area (the button with the cog wheel, next to the search bar). When it's hidden, a convenient button will appear on the search bar's left. ## Drawbacks This adds more JavaScript code to the render blocking area. ## Rationale and alternatives The most obvious way to allow people to hide the sidebar would have been to let them "manually enter mobile mode." The upside is that it's a feature we already have. The downside is that it's actually really hard to come up with a terse description. Is it: * A Setting that forces desktop viewers to always have the mobile-style top bar? If so, how do we label it? Should it be visible on mobile, and, if so, does it just not do anything? * A persistent hide/show sidebar button, present on desktop, just like on mobile? That's clutter that I'd like to avoid. ## Prior art * The new file browser in GitHub uses a similar divider with a mouse-over indicator * mdBook and macOS Finder both allow you to resize the sidebar to nothing as a gesture to hide it * https://www.nngroup.com/articles/drag-drop/ ## Future possibilities https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/266220-rustdoc/topic/Table.20of.20contents proposes a new, second sidebar (a table of contents). How should it fit in with this feature? Should it be resizeable? Hideable? Can it be accessed on mobile? |

The tests present here are used to test the generated HTML from rustdoc. The goal is to prevent unsound/unexpected GUI changes.
This is using the browser-ui-test framework to do so. It works as follows:
It wraps puppeteer to send commands to a web browser in order to navigate and test what's being currently displayed in the web page.
You can find more information and its documentation in its repository.
If you need to have more information on the tests run, you can use --test-args:
$ ./x.py test tests/rustdoc-gui --stage 1 --test-args --debug
If you don't want to run in headless mode (helpful to debug sometimes), you can use
--no-headless:
$ ./x.py test tests/rustdoc-gui --stage 1 --test-args --no-headless
To see the supported options, use --help.
Important to be noted: if the chromium instance crashes when you run it, you might need to
use --no-sandbox to make it work:
$ ./x.py test tests/rustdoc-gui --stage 1 --test-args --no-sandbox
